Submission Policy

Do not post spec work, spec contests, links to logo creation sites etc. Legitimate (contractual) hiring posts are permitted but we also recommend: /r/forhire; /r/jobs; /r/picrequests -- Posting spec work of any kind will result in a ban from the subreddit.

Do not post your own work solely for the purpose of critique. Inspirational professional work/technique submissions only, low-scoring (non-inspiring) posts of this nature may be removed. No critiques or critique requests in titles, /r/design_critiques and /r/logo_critique services these with a great community that are willing to tear shreds out of your work. /r/idesignedthis is a new community just for showing off design work. Don't just self-promote

Do not request free design consultancy. e.g. I'm a non-designer that needs help, what direction should I take my project in? This also includes help vectorizing a raster logo, help with your non-profits poster etc. You can ask /r/picrequests for those type of things.

Just wondering if anyone might happen to know who owns the rights to this photo.

I want to use it for a poster design but I would need to either buy it or get the rights to use it. I found it in a google search on some free wallpaper site, but can't seem to find the owner as it's just on dozens of different wall paper sites.

People. Stop doing this. Just because it's hard to find the right holder for an image does not make it OK to use it without their permission. We're all creatives on here and we would all be pissed as hell if we found our work being used without our permission (at least I know I have been when I've found it), so why would we possibly OK it when it's someone else's?

That photograph looks like it's been photoshopped like crazy or her skin tone is exceptionally uber smooth . why even the photographer matters beats me if that was all smoothened out in PS. But yeah it's a good habit to ask for permission to reuse someone else's work.

I just did a quick image search and because of how widespread this picture is, I think you'd have an absolute nightmare finding the actual owner. Personally, I would just use it anyway, or find a different picture where the rights are a little easier to find.

Edit: Ouch, the sting of the downvote :-P To be honest I don't really care what OP does, but I did say find another picture!!
